The NIRS™ DS3 analyser is always ready, delivers results you can trust and offers many smart data sharing and calibration management options. Get the information you need to make the necessary decisions and get full control of your sample preparation. Shorten your turnaround time, reduce waste and reduce the use of harmful chemicals to optimise cost and ensure sustainable operations, while sample matching allows you to improve quality control.
Improve laboratory processes by knowing the expected value of samples. Save cost of consumables by choosing the correct method e.g. de-fating/ de- sugaring etc. Reduce the need for reanalysis and improve turnaround time.
Fat, protein, moisture, ash, starch plus the option to develop specialised calibrations such as amino acids, NDF, ADF, dietary fibre, sugar and more for selected matrixes.
New opportunities with fast indirect screening
Consumer demands for product innovation and government regulations on healthy products are driving a diversification of product types throughout the food industry. For busy testing laboratories already faced with staffing challenges, increased competition and demands for fast turnaround time, the surge of new sample types with unknown constituents is adding significant pressure on laboratory operations.
In this context, integrating a fast, indirect method such as NIR proves valuable as a tool to improving your daily operations. Fast screening of samples with NIRS™ DS3 offers new opportunities to increase efficiency, optimize capacity and minimize time-consuming and costly re-runs.

Automated sample transfer reduces time spent on transferring data to and from management systems
Running instrument diagnostics is essential to maintain high analytical performance of your NIR laboratory equipment, but it is also time consuming and limits access to the instrument. With scheduled diagnostics, you can ensure that your instrument is always ready during working hours, with full confidence in your results.
FossManager™ software allows instruments to be connected in a network making it easier, quicker and more reliable to manage individual or multiple instruments from a desktop located anywhere.
FOSS global ANN calibrations are built on thousands of samples from a large variety of raw materials. Alternatively, develop your own calibrations with the easy to use FossCalibrator™ tool.
The NIRS™ DS3 A, combines NIR analysis with an autosampler module that significantly increases throughput, and improves sample handling. With a capacity of 20 cups per batch you can run up to 60 samples per hour. Reduce manual operations, increase walk-away time, and free up operators to focus on other tasks while the system automatically loads, analyzes, and unloads samples.
